Days later a partner taking garbage out saw a very tall ugly figure eye-to-eye from a deck. The guest heard heavy crunching footsteps in the gorge, shouted, fired a rifle into the air, and listened as it paused then jumped a high bank without breaking stride and moved away.

1 August 1984 Hampton, Carter County, Tennessee Class B #25377

Man remembers a scary encounter while camping with friends near Hampton

In August 1984 four teenagers were camping overnight on a wooded ridge when they heard unexplained noises and their dogs became agitated. A very loud yell came from just behind their lean-to, which shook visibly, causing the group to flee through the dark woods. One teen briefly froze before following, later reporting grunting and footsteps behind him. The next day the group found the lean-to torn down, the fire pit rocks scattered, and a strong wet-dog-like odor at the site.

Tree break in Tennessee

A couple with a dog camped and fished for three days with no one else around and experienced small disappearances of glasses. While fishing near the car with no wind, a large live tree snapped and fell toward the car, landing in another tree above the spouse and dog. The next morning while packing, a bag left on a picnic table near the dog vanished despite no one else being around, and the dog seemed on edge.
